This has been discussed in the past and here are the main reasons:
1.  Not everybody has access to a news server that carries that 
newsgroup.
2.  News servers don't always pick up every message posted to a 
newsgroup.
3.  Not everybody knows how to use newsgroups.  (Email or the Topica web 
interface is simply much easier for most users.)
4.  If the newsgroup becomes active, it becomes a target for SPAM...

Did I miss anything?
